ABOUT US
Wickintyre Design Co is a Canberra-based creative business providing affordable, purpose-driven design solutions for small businesses and individuals. The business focuses on social media support, graphic design, bespoke stationery and education-based services. Our goal is to support passionate people by simplifying design, improving visibility and creating meaningful, personal outcomes while maintaining fair pricing and strong values.
OUR STORY
Wickintyre Design Co was created to support people who care deeply about what they do but don’t always know how to show that care through design, branding, or social media.
We see it all the time: small businesses pouring their heart into great products or services, yet feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to present themselves clearly online. We also see individuals planning meaningful moments weddings, celebrations, farewells struggling to find stationery that feels truly personal rather than
mass-produced or generic.
Wickintyre Design Co exists to make that part feel simpler.
At the heart of our work is the belief that good design should feel accessible, supportive and intentional not intimidating or out of reach. Whether we’re creating stationery to hold an important moment, shaping a brand’s visual identity, or helping a business show up confidently on social media, our focus is always on care, clarity and connection.
A LITTLE MORE ABOUT US
Wickintyre Design Co was founded by Emma, a designer with over a decade of experience in social media, marketing, and visual communication.
Emma’s love of design started long before her professional career learning to draw beside her grandmother on quiet Saturday mornings and developing a deep appreciation for paper craft through her mother’s handmade cards. Those early influences still shape the business today.
As the eldest daughter in her family, caring for others has always come naturally. That instinct carries through every part of Wickintyre Design Co from the way projects are scoped, to the way clients are supported, to the way boundaries are held with warmth and respect.
Emma has worked in the marketing and social media industry since 2013, developing a strong understanding of how thoughtful design and clear messaging can support growth, confidence, and visibility. Wickintyre Design Co brings together that strategic experience with a genuine love for creativity, storytelling, and human connection.
HOW WE WORK
We take the time to understand you your goals, your values and what matters most to you. Some clients want to learn and be empowered to do things themselves, while others need someone to step in and take the reins. We’re happy to do both.
Our work is collaborative, calm, and considered. We believe in fair pricing, clear communication and thoughtful design that feels like you, not a template.
Most of all, Wickintyre Design Co is about helping people feel confident, supported and genuinely looked after whether that’s through a brand coming to life, a social media presence finally making sense, or stationery that holds a meaningful moment with care.
OUR MISSION
Our mission is to deliver affordable, creative, versatile and purpose-driven design solutions that genuinely support people. We exist to help small businesses grow with confidence and to support individuals in bringing meaningful moments to life through thoughtful, bespoke design without overwhelm, intimidation, or unnecessary cost.
OUR VISION
Our vision is for Wickintyre Design Co to be a trusted creative partner known for warmth, integrity and clarity. We aim to support values-led businesses and individuals with design that feels personal, intentional and enduring. Success for us means calm, sustainable work, aligned clients and a business that allows us to help others while maintaining balance and care.
WHO WE’RE NOT FOR
Wickintyre Design Co is not the right fit for everyone and that’s intentional.
We are not for clients who:
-
Are seeking the cheapest possible option without regard for process or quality
-
Expect unlimited revisions or ongoing changes outside of agreed scope
-
Disrespect boundaries, timelines, or professional communication
-
Are unwilling to collaborate or engage in the creative process
-
Use rude, derogatory, or discriminatory language or behaviour
By being clear about who we’re not for, we protect the quality of our work, our energy and the experience of the clients we are best placed to support. This clarity allows us to deliver calm, thoughtful and values-led design every time.
